I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this cartridge! Now, a bit about this card and envelope: I have a friend who has a Corvette and is in a Corvette club that drives all over the place together. Recently, she went on a trip with her Corvette Club all along Route 66 so I immediately thought of her when I saw the Route 66 images on the cartridge. Conveniently, it also happens to be her birthday soon so I made this card and envelope in celebration of that. I gave it to her yesterday!

This is an acrylic card I got from Close to My Heart - thought it would be a fun medium to use. Paper is from Club Scrap's Cruisin Kit - love the retro colors!

This word art is from the cartridge. I ran the emblem through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder. Pen work using the Uniball Signo white pen. Ribbon from Michaels.

Peek to the inside:

Here is the inside of the card. Stamps from Club Scrap and Close to My Heart. Notice the shadowed font on the right hand side of the card ("ON") - also on this Nifty Fifties cartridge. It will look great welded, won't it? Route 66 emblem is from the cartrdige also.

Here is the card and back of the envelope. I made the envelope using the Scor-Pal. Car is from the Nifty Fifties cartridge also.

This is actually the front of the envelope! I love the "cruisin'" word art with the car! "Jean" was cut using the font on the cartridge.

Card with envelope:

Cricut Birthday Bash Cartridge: This cartridge not only has a shadowed font, it also has a whole feature key filled with cards and tags! Woo hoo! And they are SUPER CUTE!!

Green Card and Dotted Envelope:

Green card is from the card feature key. Bird on the banner is also from the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge! Cloud is cut from Cricut Serenade cartridge and stamp is from Papertrey Ink. Paper by DCWV, Core'dinations and Bo Bunny.

Finally, a dance oriented cartridge! This has been a highly requested cartridge.

I used the new Cuttlebug Art Deco folders for the front of this card. I love how it frames the ballet shoes and word art.

Let's see the inside of the card:

wow, everytime i think i have all i need in the line of cartridges, pv comes out with more. i'm loving all 3 of these. even tho i don't have a dancer in the family, theres plenty on 'lets dance' to have fun with.

Lovin that birthday bash cart!!! Nifty Fifties is very cool too, but with 4 kiddos we make a lot of bday cards, 3 parties for their friends this weekend, gotta get started on the cards! Keeping fingers crossed.

I am a follower. I love that dance one, I am a little bummed that such an anticipated cart would be exclusive, but I have not desire to join the circle. I will have to cross my fingers for ebay or a giveaway or something I guess. I love your cards,they are all so bright and cheery, Thanks for sharing them.Alyssaalyssa at mayofamily dot com

Oh very hard to choose. They all are awesome. I think I will choose Winter Frolic. I love winter and having grandson makes winter play even more fun. Thanks for the giveaways and sharing your talents with us.Thank you Linda in Stanwood

I think Shall We Dance is my favorite, but unfortunately I am not a part of the Cricut Circle. My next pick would be Birthday Bash. some on is always having a birthday. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful projects.

Wow...just LOVE all 3 of those cards! You are sooo creative! Both of Nifty Fifties and Birthday Bash carts will be must haves for me. Can't wait! Thanks, as always, to both you and Melanie for your inspiration!

Joy I just love the Nifty Fifties Route 66 card. It is so cute and haven't seen an acrylic card!!! Just love all the great ideas from you. Love the giveaways also so sign me up and looking forward to the winners list.paulahoadley@hotmail.com

I would have to say niftie fifties.My sweetheart graduated in 59 so there is a lot I could use on his book.both my boys knew what a 57 chevy was before they were 2.Lors of good stuff on here from what I have seen.

The cards are wonderful! I think of these carts, I would get the most use out of Birthday Bash, though I really like the images on Shall We Dance. Route 66 card is my favorite of the cards... really, really cute!

I think my favourite would have to be the Birthday Bash cartridge. When Cricut came out with the Wild Cards cartridge, I convinced my DH to let me get it by telling him that I wouldn't buy any more birthday cards so it would pay for itself quickly. Well it sure has! I would love some more birthday ideas to add to the cards!

I wasn't too interested in the new carts until you told me about the cards available on the Birthday Bash. I need that cart for a Bday tomorrow. I need an idea QUICK! My 1 yr old granddaughter is having a Bday next week and my daughter's is tomorrow. RUSH!mdot kdot schmidt athotmail dotcom

I love all the new projects you have made with the new carts! My favorite has to be the cuts from Nifty Fifties! As always, you have given me lots and lots of reasons why I MUST have these news carts!Thanks,Tanya

The projects are all so cute. I love Shall We Dance. I've been waiting for a cartidge just like this to be put out, finally, and guess what it's an exclusive to the Circle. My daughter has been dancing for 12 years, she's 14 now, and I was waiting for this. SOOO... disapointed I can't get it.Thanks for the chance to win such great prizes!!

Awesome cards!! I love that cut you used from Birthday Bash, but that clear base you used on the Route 66 card really makes it shine. I am thinking that the Nifty Fifty's set is my favorite. Thanks for sharing!!

I'm fairly new to the Cricut (I have a baby bug), but make all my own birthday cards. The new Birthday Bash cartridge would be great! Many thanks for all your talented inspiration!Elaineewillcox@earthlink.net

my favorite would have to be Nifty fifty .. I love all the retro stuff and I could use its alot since I have all boys it would do well I think... but I also really like Birthday bash... gotta collect all the birthday carts :)

I am just lovin the Nifty Fifties cartridge! That would be so good for making cards for friends 'my age'!! Thanks for the giveaways and love all the cards you made to show us the Hello Thursday cartridges!GrandmaJ from Il.
